This Techies build is one that I use almost every single game. This build allows for you to stall out the game to whatever duration you see fit. And then it allows you to carry the game at the time of your choosing.
Its the little things that count with Techies. Make sure you are being as efficient as possible as the odds are most likely against you.

I am currently Rank 180 Immortal --- 7k MMR

If you want to see constant success, I highly reccomend giving this build a try.

Disclaimer: This build is for high skilled players, this is very challenging to replicate if you do not understand the game.

Techies is a hero that plays off of Vision, or lack of Vision. Please stay in the fog as much as possible. Even showing for one split second can ruin 3 minutes of your work.
You must also understand when you can RAT, and when you need to defend. Being successful at this hero requires that you have an understanding of the natural flow of the game.
Psychological tactics are also a must on this hero. Make sure to pause on oppenents who seem tilted by your presence. If you kill them, just hit F9 really quick. Its the little things that count with Techies

Dont be afraid to use smokes of deceit to get crucial aggro traps now mid-late game.

First 10 minutes: Stay with your offlaner and right click the enemy heroes, keep the pressure off of your offlaner by making them focus on you. If you get below half hp, just suicide as long as your tp is off cooldown. Lay mines to the right and left of the lane once you hit level 3 or 4. Skill level 2 blast off at 3 if you dont have much mana regen. If you are able to get a quick soul ring before level 3, get level 2 proxy mines and spam the ♥♥♥♥ out of them.

10-20 minutes: Once you hit level 5, immediatly start caring about getting your experience and gold. Farm the enemy small neutral camps, and explore your jungle and your enemies jungle for medium camps you can one shot. Satry camp, and Dire Wolf camp. Stack when needed. Once you have level 4 blast off, use that on the creep waves rather than the proxies unless you think you will need it soon.

20-30 minutes: You should have your euls by 25 minutes in the worst case scenario. Focus on hitting my timings, 18 min euls, 30 min aghs. Once you have aghs, go into boots of travel next. Watch my video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG2nMCLk264&t=282s on how to use the boots of travel in the most effiecent way.

30-40 minutes: If you are doing everything correctly, you should be reaching your level 25 in this window. Start working towards your assualt curiass and mask of madness. Once you have both of those, focus on split pushing lanes when the enemies group up to push other objectives.

40-50 minutes: This is the timing that will decide most likely whether you win or lose the game. Focus on the split push, and dont get distracted. You will still have aghs so continue laying our perfectly stacked mines in positions where you are split pushing. Lay remotes and proxies in lane a short distance apart to ensure the lane continues to push even when you are not there.
